MIA -> JG51 on March 20, 1945 (Bf109)
 

Hello,

Obfeldw REINHART Emil 20.03.1945 II. Gruppe / JG51
KilledInAction (KIA) 20 March, 1945, crashing near Stuhlweissenburg (Heinrich Breuer)
https://aircrewremembered.com/Kracke...rch_type=exact

Is the location of pilot Emil REINHART's loss 100% certain?

Is this the only loss from JG51 on March 20, 1945 (Bf109)? Was there another loss from JG51 on that day? (place: Horst, ....?)
I have information that there was a pilot from Group IV JG51 (POW) in the Horst.


Best regards,
Kris

The Balss March 1945 edition of Luft. Losses and Claims shows Rienhart as taking off from Raab (Gyor) and missing in the Stuhlwessenburg area (Szeksfehervar)

There is also a scond loss of Ofhr Schuhmacher of1/JG 53 with take off from Veszprem and MIA Varpalota area . As regards the Horst location Google Earth shows a Horsti birtok which is some distance from the Varpalota area ?

The pilot crash-landed a Bf109 on March 20, 1945, at Horst and was captured by the Russians.

Who could have been this pilot from IV./JG51 ?

Uffz. Karl-Heinz Streckert, 14./JG 51, POW, Raum Danzig. He did not return after the war.....

Thank You John !

Since the airport was already cut off by the Russians, it probably happened when they were moving along the Baltic coast to Garz.
